Happy Halloween — or not! In this week’s episode of Menobodies, Beth shares how a floating ghost in a tree triggered a reflection on cultural expectations — from Halloween to menopause. What happens when you realize you don’t have to love what everyone else does? Or dress, act, and age the way society says you should? This episode dives into finding joy in doing things your own way — whether that means skipping the scary stuff, embracing elastic-waist freedom (or not!), or starting something completely new in midlife.
In This Episode:
- 👻 Why Beth’s Halloween “boo” moment turned into a bigger realization about choice
- 💀 The truth about giant skeletons and cultural pressure
- 💪 How menopause mirrors Halloween — everyone expects you to feel a certain way
- ✨ Why it’s never too late to rewrite the “rules” of aging
- 🛼 New hobbies, new moves — roller skating, weightlifting, and loving your body differently
- ❤️ Learning to take care of yourself from a place of love, not punishment
Takeaway:You don’t have to follow the script. Whether it’s Halloween, menopause, or midlife expectations, the freedom to live joyfully — on your terms — is the real treat.
